More photo scavenger hunt items!! See sidebar for link to the summertime photo scavenger hunt origin.
As part of an earlier blog post, I posted item #21, but it was sort-of hidden away in that post, so here it is again:
This is me, playing with my gelli plate (http://www.gelliarts.com)- my sister, my mother and I spent many hours on this Saturday afternoon at the cabin pulling prints. More details can be found on my July 8th post.
Item #20, a dinosaur was easy for me. I had 2 options…one was to travel by bus to the other side of my city and take a photograph of the dinosaurs at the University of Manitoba- there is a museum in the Geology building which is named after my father(who passed away in 1999). You can read about the museum here:
http://umanitoba.ca/geoscience/cretaceousmenagerie/welcome.htm ). Or much simpler, I could take a photo of his dinosaur pins, still in the original shirt pocket protector. I chose the simpler option:
I also have item # 17, candles:
These 2 little candles are consistently brought out for display for Christmas at our house, even when(or because) we don’t have strength to pull out our “fake” tree. I got the lovely Christmas Tree candle, at least 35 years ago, from my friend since high school, Elizabeth, while I bought the little deer candle at DisneyWorld in 1993. I think they make a lovely pair. Neither of them have ever been lit….which is why I still have them after all these years.
So I think that just leaves item #1, an open air market…and I hope to get this on Thursday. It will be a little different from most open air markets since this one is the vendors participating as part of our “Fringe Festival”.
I LOVE those candles 🙂 Gr8 finds 🙂
